Description Sodre 2019-10-30 07:01:09 UTC
In some scenario (e.g. HiDPI monitor), the size of the font for comments (both reading or writing) is too small. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press F6 and Open a pop-up note or highlight some text
2. There is now way to resize this font size if you feel it's too small 

OBSERVED RESULT
The font size in annotations doesn't look proper and there is no way to change it.

EXPECTED RESULT
There is a option in Okular Preference which allows you change the annotation font (size). 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
This generally applies to all platforms and versions

But this is like a trick, You should create a "Typewriter" annotation, right click and then in the properties change the font. That changed font will apply to other annotations such as Pop-UP Note. 

However, you can not access this menu from the Pop-up Note or Highlighter. While I achieved what I wanted I think this font menu should be accessible in the properties of all annotation tools not just particular one.

I double check this solution on the problematic case and this doesn't effect the font size in highlighter or markup. This just changing the font size of the Typewriter which is not what OP indicates.

Please attach a screenshot with an arrow pointing to which "font is too small"

Here is the example (I mean the font inside the Pop-up notes or highlights, etc):

I re-open the thread as I provide the screenshot(https://postimg.cc/Lqth0dKJ).

That font is the same size of the rest of the fonts of your UI, so i don't see why it would need to be increased.
Comment 8 Sodre 2019-11-08 11:50:23 UTC
I'm using i3wm and almost no other KDE application other than Okular on a 4K monitor. Every other UI is OK other than okular. I tried QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2 okular for example and everything becomes bigger and with some graphical artifacts....I think it would be beneficial to that Font UI for "Typrewrite" be available for any annotation type.

We're not going to add a setting to change a random part of the user interface, it doesn't make any sense.
